Yeah, I had tried out a set of Pirelli MT75's. I only got 1700 miles of hard riding out of it (last 300 miles where non-stop 90+ mph sweepers and I ride the same way with the City Grips, and they get much better mileage and handle just as good, and even better in the rain.. The starting picture is at 1100 miles, the following is after 2 days of riding (300 miles each day) through middle Tennessee, just south of Land Between The Lakes.
